Villas In Southwold

  The location was ideal and only a short walk from the main shopping area and the beach. Gulls Nest provided everything needed to ensure we had a comfortable base in Southwold. The modern kitchen had every appliance you could possibly need including a washing machine and dishwasher. The whole cottage was clean and was like home from home with nice touches such as ornaments and pictures. There was also a lovely welcome pack. Washing up liquid, hand soap and loo rolls were also included which was really helpful. An off road parking space and a small courtyard with table and chairs was an added bonus. We had our little dog with us and there are plenty of places to walk. The area is very dog friendly and most cafes and some shops allowed dogs inside. The countryside in Suffolk is beautiful and we found plenty to do in Southwold and also within driving distance. Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend both the property and area.

  We had a lovely week in Southwold. The flat is in an excellent location and we found it easy to park and get around. The flat was very comfortable and spacious and on arrival there was bread, milk, eggs, butter, jam & some coffee pods which was a lovely touch, and gratefully received. The kitchen was well-equipped although the kettle needs a descaling! The small bedroom was a little dusty in places - annoying as our 5 year old likes to touch everything! The flat looks out onto a private garden at the back which was off putting at times when you want to get changed and there’s a family of 5 eating their dinner outside the bedroom window - but obviously pulling the curtains solves that problem. The shower was excellent, really powerful and the bath was a good size for our son to splash around in. The blackout blinds in the bedrooms were very good. Overall we had a lovely stay and hope to come back again.

  Lovely cottage in a prime Southwold spot.

  Cosy enough for myself and two children. There was an issue with the dishwasher which got stuck on a cycle overnight and leaked on the floor. Everything had to be handwashed as it wasn't clean. (Comments had been written in the visitors book by previous guests about the dishwasher not cleaning for them too.) The cold tap in the kitchen was leaking and without draining board facilities this was becoming a bit of a worktop issue. In addition, the shower tray in the bathroom was close to overflowing due to slow drainage. No doubt linked to the age of the house drains; but could potentially become a problem at some point. I reported all issues to the holiday company and they have said they will act on the feedback. I hope it's sorted before the next letting.

  We have come every year for about 20 years, and love the cottage. However, we had to report a problem with hot water - you came out v quickly, which was great. However, the plumber simply left a note saying that we had to turn the tap on a while for the hot water to come through. This was very annoying! We have almost exactly the same boiler at home. The problem was that the water came through hot after a moment or two, was hot very briefly, and then was freezing cold without ever warming up. We went without showering or bathing for three days. We love the cottage but it is quite expensive for something like this to happen.

  A fantastic little ground floor apartment within a stone’s throw of the sea, Southwold Lighthouse and the town centre.

  The properly was clean and beautifully decorated. We chose this because of my elderly Mum who hadn’t been away for a number of years as she’s very unstable on her feet and lost confidence in going away. This property was ideal giving her a walk-in shower en-suite in her bedroom and open plan living area for us all to socialise with no steps to negotiate. Absolutely ideal for anyone in a similar position. It’s enabled us to give her a proper break away and a boost to her her confidence at the same time. A lovely welcome pack and gift and we’ll definitely consider a revisit.
